「とんでもなくハイクオリティー」 話題の画像AI「Novel AI」でひたすら二次元美少女と美少年を生成してみた
ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS BELOW
Novel AI," a popular image AI, generates beautiful two-dimensional girls and boys.
NovelAI Diffusion," an image generation AI that began offering its service on October 3, has been attracting attention. Despite the fact that only paying members can use the service, it has already become a hot topic on Twitter, with users saying that it is "good at two-dimensional beautiful girls," and that "it comes up with a lot of outrageously high quality images without missing a beat in any way. As of 5 p.m., "Novel AI" was trending in Japan.
When the reporter actually joined the service and tried it out, he felt that, at least in the case of outputting two-dimensional beautiful girls and boys, he could obtain illustrations that were easier and of higher quality than any of the earlier image-generating AIs he had experienced. This article presents the images output by the reporter. I will examine the quality of the illustrations this service can produce and its strengths and weaknesses.
However, as discussed below, this AI tweeted that it was trained based on an image collection site suspected of violating copyright laws. This article uses the AI for the purpose of technical verification, but please keep this in mind when using the AI.
First of all, please take a look at this image. This is the image that came up as a result of typing "kawaii anime girl. The reporter recently wrote an article comparing various image-generating AI services. However, I felt that Novel AI was better at creating two-dimensional characters than any of the other services I used.

Let's try other keywords. I want to output a beautiful girl with blond hair and a red dress holding a sword, so I type "gold hair,red dress,anime girl having sword". This time, a beautiful girl with a bit of a sense of deja vu comes up. I was surprised that the so-called "air intake" (a hair style with two tufts of space on the top of the head) was also represented.

There is also a "variation" function that allows you to further arrange the resulting image, which I also used. The general atmosphere remains the same, but the details are changed.

Next, let's change things up a bit and specify a state other than appearance. The keywords are "sweat, cap, black long hair, manga girl. The next step was to specify a state other than appearance. Here is the result. It looks like she is sweating.
